Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good USB wi-fi adapter for use with Ubuntu? I
don't mind if it takes some tinkering to set up the first time, but I
need high reliability for a non-gearhead to be able to use it after
that.
Thanks,

Any opinions on how important it is for a laptop sleeve (I mean the
kind that only holds the laptop & maybe a mouse pad, not the bag with
pockets) to fit the laptop closely?
I got a sleeve for my kid's computer at Staples recently --- it's the
right thickness & well-padded, but has about 1.5 to 2

Just wondering if anyone would like to recommend any particular USB
dongle internet hardware/services in the UK? I'm expecting to use it
quite a bit for short periods, but only in the UK. Obviously it needs
to be usable with Ubuntu!

I made the mistake of buying a Yuraku 1.5" digital photo-frame

Would anyone like to recommend an external USB sound-device with a
line-in input, suitable for recording from a hi-fi line-level
connection using Audacity? I have no idea what to search for or what
the price ranges are like.
A 3.5 mm or 2.5 mm stereo jack would be fine, or even a pair of RCA
